“Our Taggart has royal blood in him. he shouldn’t marry someone with mud blood, right Uncle? What will the vampire clan say about the wedding when they discover it?” Damian was slowly releasing his dangerous provocation against Taggart. He manipulates Simon to reclaim his support for Taggart’s mate and initiation. Simultaneously, Simon was thoughtfully considered about Damian’s words.“I’m not ranting, Uncle. I don’t want you to misunderstand me. You know so well, right?” Damian added to show his willingness. Simon smiled and then nodded.“I know. You are such a favorable young wolf full of potential, Damian. Your admission about it made me think something. Taggart might make a mistake, but he should explain it. I mean, he found a mate after all this time. He faced a hard time, especially after we lost the queen, his mom. Taggart should find a mate to support him.” Simon's long explanation had brought a smile to Damian. He nodded agreeably. “I agree with you. Therefore, he must find
Boringly, Pearl laid down on the empty, lavish, comfortable king-size bed. She stared blankly on one side while gently twisting the edge of her pillow cover. She was not keen on running away again after her fight with Taggart. Until, in the middle of the night, the bedroom door squeaked and slowly opened. Pearl startled and then turned to widen her eyes. Taggart stepped in limping. He drank a lot since he couldn’t keep thinking about Pearl.Pearl sat on the bed watching Taggart, half-dragged his feet, and threw himself next to her. She was stunned and frozen, perplexed about the situation. Taggart then chuckled oddly. His behavior was both humorous and perplexing.“Hey, lady. Ah, why are you so grumpy with me?” Taggart whimpered while touching Pearl’s cheek with his fingers. His hand then only lay on the bed because he was too drunk even to lift it.“What happened to you?” Pearl gently asked. Her soothing voice made him comfortable. He smiled and then glanced with his eyes half-opened
His breath roared closer, frightening Pearl even more. The man approached Pearl until his nose tip nearly touched hers. Pearl held her breath as if she were going to die. His golden brown eyes captivated Pearl from pushing.The man then hissed, "Stop squirming, Babydoll. I won't let you go," without blinking his eyes, frightening Pearl as he restrained her body."Who are you? I don't know you," Pearl answered fearfully. He stroked Pearl's flawless skin with the tips of his fingers, then took hold of her jaw. Pearl opened her eyes wide at once. Breath stopped. This time, she will die."You know me well, Doll.” The man's loud hissing continued. Pearl still shook her head, but the man grinned broadly."You are my mate, and I will enjoy your body now.""No, please don't. Let me go!" Pearl attempted to scream. Yet, her voice didn't seem to want to come out. The man grew farther away and suddenly transformed into a hideous monster. Pearl slammed her eyes closed. He bit Pearl's neck painfull
Sandra was saying something that Pearl couldn't believe. She felt like the sky was falling upon her head now. Pearl had been getting ready for the job program for months. After graduating from university, she desired to obtain an internship certificate and the opportunity to work at the company.However, Sandra ruined all the fun this morning by forcing Pearl to attend dinner. Pearl shook her head, refusing her mother's order."No, Mom. I don't want to go there. I have to prepare for Excellor tomorrow!" Pearl said, denying the order. Briana was stunned and couldn't believe her sister, Pearl, would be matched. She turned to her father, John, who was just silent."You will come to the party. It's clear that you need to be there at six in the afternoon, no matter what you plan to do before." Sandra finished by scolding Pearl with her eyes wide. Pearl shook her head again. She didn't want to do that at all."But,""Stop arguing with me. There's no point at all. As a good girl, wear your n
Pearl insisted on staying in the Excellor Enterprise internship program instead of thinking about the dress for her dinner ball. She was ready early in the morning and was about to leave. When Sandra saw it, she did not like it."Why are you still going to work? You have to prepare yourself for the dinner," Sandra scolded Pearl. Pearl didn't want to argue with Sandra, so she continued to put documents in her bag without saying anything. Pearl was ready to work on her first day of internship."Mom, I'll be late," she replied sweetly, avoiding the argument."I warned you, Pearl. Don't you dare to leave!" Sandra got more angry as she put her hands on her hips. She pulled her bag, so Pearl stopped walking."Mom, we'll talk later,""Do you know the consequences if you don't obey me? You will never be able to leave the house again. I will lock you up in your room." Sandra grittedly threatened Pearl. Her eyes bulged with a sinister look. Pearl took a deep sigh and started to fidget. John the
A Few Hours Before...Pearl put on her dress and sulked in front of her mirror. She sat on her chair, fixing her hair.“Oh god. I don’t want to do this,” she grumbled, then covered her face. Pearl took a deep sigh, then watched her face again. She didn’t do much makeup, just put some blush on her cheeks. Pearl gave off the impression of a laid-back girl. Perhaps the man would feel hideous about her and cancel the plan.Suddenly, the stepmom, Sandra, knocked on the door. She harshly called Pearl, who should have been ready minutes ago.“Why are you not coming out yet? We are late!” she yelled behind the door. In annoyance, Pearl clicked her tongue, yet she stood up to get her purse. She walked to the door and then opened it. Her face was flat, with a sulk on her cute lips.“Don’t sulk at me. It is your destiny that you must obtain.” Sandra glared at her, saying, "There's no point in putting the grunge on right now." Her mom wouldn’t let her go easily. Sandra didn’t care about Pearl’s a
Everest Leon approached Taggart, who looked anxious after leaving his father's bedroom. Taggart shook his head as if Bruce were rejecting his attempt to cancel the dinner."How about this? If you keep doing the dinner, you will take your father's proposed mate, sir," said Everest, expressing his worry. Taggart walked closer to the railing on the balcony of the top floor. He could see some guests had arrived from above. Everest also looked down, although he then turned his gaze back to Taggart."I've got no choice tonight, Everest. I may think another way to run.” Taggart then glimpsed at Everest, who gave the nod. Taggart turned around, and Everest followed him. He would go downstairs to meet the guests, as his father insisted.Meanwhile, Pearl had just arrived at the main lobby. She walked out of her car along with her parents. She was surprised to see some people also coming. She scowled, assuming that she was the only one attending the dinner. Pearl then got closer to her father an
Pearl gasped and instantly put on a pleading, innocent expression toward her father. Thus, Sandra glared at her. Luckily, Pearl quickly hid her cell phone behind her back."Nothing, Dad. I just," Pearl paused and thought quickly. Her eyes rolled, looking for an acceptable reason to elude."Oh, look at this exquisite carpet. I'm looking at it," said Pearl, continuing her reason. She grinned widely, trying to hide the anxiousness."What for?" Sandra held back a grunt of annoyance at Pearl, who was acting strangely."I'm an interior designer, Mom. Of course, I have to pay attention to the carpet design. Hmm?" Sandra frowned, not liking her excuse. Quickly, she grabbed Pearl's arm to force her to shove her forward. Sandra also cleared her throat to allow John to speak. John then stepped closer and whispered a little to Pearl."Pearl, he is your future husband. His name is Taggart Kellent," said John, introducing Pearl to the man standing not far before her.Pearl glanced at Taggart, who w

“Our Taggart has royal blood in him. he shouldn’t marry someone with mud blood, right Uncle? What will the vampire clan say about the wedding when they discover it?” Damian was slowly releasing his dangerous provocation against Taggart. He manipulates Simon to reclaim his support for Taggart’s mate and initiation. Simultaneously, Simon was thoughtfully considered about Damian’s words.“I’m not ranting, Uncle.

The entire way home, Pearl wept silently but suppressed any sobs or squeaks from her tears. Meanwhile, Taggart began to soften as a result of her sobbing.“Stop crying,” he murmured.Taggart wanted to stop the car and persuade Pearl to stop crying, but he hesitated. Watching a girl cry due to her forced departure was a strange experience for him.“Do you love that family? You’d better not respect them.” Taggart sounded annoyed when he talked about Rosenthal. Pearl sulkily turned to Taggart. She was not pleased with the way Taggart had treated her family. It was so rude and heartless."What do you mean? I love my family. But you took me away from them.” Pearl shook her soft voice against Taggart, who was still driving. Taggart turned to the right and snorted sarcastically. He shook his head slightly, feeling an irritate coming on. Pearl made him think harder than he would for any other girl."If you knew the truth, you would regret it." Taggart cursed a little in annoyance. His voice w
John did not presently welcome Taggart, who had arrived. He frowned when he saw Pearl's future husband looking at him cynically.“Good evening, Mr. Taggart,” John said hello and tried to be friendly. Taggart smirked, not intending to reciprocate. He was not going to be pleasant. Ever since he learned about Pearl, he has harbored a deep-seated anger toward his next father-in-law. John was making up stories to fib about."Where's Pearl?" Taggart inquired coldly. It doesn't seem friendly, but Taggart is like that.“What are you looking for her? It is late." Taggart chuckled, still in his sarcasm."Seriously?" he asked, seeming to mock them up. Keith glared disapprovingly. He stepped forward to lunge at Taggart. John quickly grabbed his shoulders. In the meantime, Taggart was still casually looking at Keith and John without moving. He didn't care if he had to break in with violence.“Please don't intrude Pearl. She is resting.&r
After leaving the restaurant, Taggart grabbed Pearl's hand and jerked it harshly. He put his hands on his hips to face Pearl. Pearl was too scared to say anything; her face was pale. Everest felt sorry to see her right. Therefore, he stopped to assist Pearl."Sir, we've got to meet your father; he keeps calling me!" Everest stood between Taggart and Pearl to prevent him from getting angry. Thus, Taggart glared at Everest, warning of his disturbing attitude. Everest just giggled awkwardly and showed him an innocent look.“I'm going home, but not now,” Taggart warned with a growl.“But he calls me every 10 minutes. Look!" Everest showed off his cell phone. On his screen, Bruce Kellent's name appeared. Taggart snorted, extremely annoyed. His eyes grew increasingly sharp, threatening to kill someone. Pearl just kept quiet and said nothing. She couldn't coupe anything happened right now."How about I take Miss Pearl home, and you will go see the Alpha?" Everest suggested to Taggart that he
Everest walked quickly to Taggart's treatment room to report. He mumbled in annoyance as he ranted aimlessly. Everest ranted after discovering that Damian Bronckhorst had picked up Pearl Rosenthal from Excellor instead. He thought that Damian would feel guilty after provoking Taggart with jealousy. However, his actions were markedly different. Damian now disrespects and disgraces Taggart, and Everest doesn't want to let it happen. He hasn't stopped chasing Pearl; instead, he kidnaps her for dinner."Are we going to have direct access to the data bank at the Red Tower?"Everest was walking to see Taggart when he overheard two men discussing The Red Tower's data bank. He quickly stopped. He frowned suspiciously. His eyes rolled, then turned to glance behind him. He was curious to find out about those men. He had heard about the Red Tower and didn't want to lose the opportunity to eavesdrop.“Yes, we will get there. I have to find Pearl's bloodlines. This is
Pearl hesitantly off her working day today. She made a ridiculous decision to accept Damian’s dating offer. On the same time, she didn’t call Taggart yet although she got his number.“What if he finds me lying? He must be angry.” Pearl sighed heavily and then rubbed her forehead.Some of her colleagues have been leaving to go home. It was five already and Damian should be arrived in minutes. After gulping her nervousness, then rethinking a hundred times, Pearl bravely stood from her chair.“Are you going home?” one of her colleagues startled her. Pearl grinned awkwardly, then nodded quickly.“Let’s go then.” Pearl only smiled when she walked along to the elevator. There were a few interns and employees inside it. Like regular off-working hours, many people were squeezing inside to get home earlier.“How do you get work, Pearl?” the girl beside her then glanced and asked.
“This isn’t over!” Andreas warned Bruce about Taggart before he left. Once he went out, Bruce took his phone to call Everest. He should get the news about his son. After a few attempts, he finally reached him.“He’s fine, Sir. Fortunately.” Everest said with a sigh of relief.“How about Damian?”“How did you know? I thought I made the news,”“Everest, tell me everything!” Bruce stated his command. Everest couldn’t reject it at all. After all, Bruce Kellent was still the Alpha of the pack.Simultaneously, Matthew had the same report from one of Zeta’s on the pack. He even showed the news to him. He quickly went out of the house but suddenly stopped in the lobby. Damian’s car just arrived and parked. A guard opened the door for him. Damian exited his car with an extra shirt, which still looked messy. At least he dressed up and not using the blanket anymore.“Damian, are you okay? What happened?” Matthew burst out his question once Damian stepped to the lobby's stairs. He stopped and the
The tension was in the air. Luckily, the room was made of bulletproof glass walls with immense thickness. The CEO didn't want to risk any fight or commotion could happen. Once he got a call from Everest, who requested the room meeting, he quickly prepared it.“You're mistaken if you think I'd be jealous. You are trapping Pearl to kill me. You are the real evil." Damian burst out his sinister laugh at Taggart. He ridiculed Taggart, yet he ignored the laugh."Pearl hates you. That's what she said to me," Damian replied to an annoyed Taggart. He scoffed sarcastically, then stepped forward. He stopped in the middle of the room. His finger touched the surface of the long, lavish meeting table before folding his arms to the chest."Stay away from her, Damian,""Hmm, nope. I don't think I would do that." Taggart threw a chair at Damian suddenly. It was too fast, but Damian dodged it reflectively. His smile turned to anger now. Taggart was killing him.The chair was shattered on the floor aft
